Gastric Bypass, Roux en-Y
We consider Gastric Bypass to be the premium operation, offering the best
combination of maximum weight control, and minimum nutritional risk.
Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass, Roux en-Y
We developed the techniques for performing the Gastric Bypass by laparoscopy,
or limited access, and performed the first such procedure in 1993 -- we
have now performed over 1200 such operations. This operation duplicates
the anatomy and physiology of the standard, open procedure.
Distal Gastric Bypass
This procedure is offered by some, as a means of avoiding late weight
gain which may follow the restrictive operations. We prefer to perform
the restrictive operation to a higher standard, and to emphasize the importance
of appropriate eating afterward.
